Scrapbook Week-Candy Cane Lane designer paper

This paper just made me smile when I saw it in the Holiday catalog.  So, I made cards and finally scrapbook pages out of the images. Here are the items I used from the Holiday catalog to make these 2 pages.

1. Real Red 3/4" stitched ribbon
2. Candy Cane Lane designer paper
3. Real Red 12 by 12" card stock

The tiny images were easy to cut out and the peppermints were punched out with my 1/2" punch.

Come back tomorrow to see a layout I made with the Festive Birthday designer paper.

Candy Cane lane designer paper-Fix it Friday

This sheet of designer paper is so cute that it can make a card all by itself.  I added a saying and a brown bow to match the bow already on the paper.  Now to fix it up.....

By punching out circles I was able to show on this card most of the different designs that are featured in the designer paper pack.  There are 12 sheets of paper.  2 each of 6 double sided papers.  

What is the same in both cards?

The Early Espresso card base,
The saying from the set called Stitched with Cheer
The Gingerbread Boy is part of the designer paper from the first card.

What is different?

The circles of the different designs in the paper pack
The red baker's twine,
The rhinestones
The white accent paper

I hope you have enjoyed seeing the many ways you can use Candy Cane Lane designer paper instead of a stamp set.

Have a great weekend and come back next week to see more Christmas card ideas.

Candy Cane Lane designer paper-Template Thursday

What a simple way to make some cute Christmas cards.

1. Use the White Cards and Envelope pack for the card base. 

2. Choose one of the colors from the designer paper for an accent color.  I chose Crumb Cake.

3. Cut 3 houses from the designer paper.

4. Punch a circle and make a band from 2 coordinating papers.

5. Find a saying to use on each card.

You can easily make 20 Christmas cards ready to send.

Come back tomorrow to see how to fix up a simple card and make it a little bit fancier.

Candy Cane Lane designer paper-Wednesday Wow

  When I saw a card similar to this on Pinterest I thought how clever and knew then I wanted to make one for myself.  These cute little cookie images are found on one of the sheets of the designer paper.  The cookie sheet is made using the next to largest label from the Lots of Labels framelit set.  Isn't this so cute.  This will be the Christmas card by Christmas Through the Year group will make this month.

Come back tomorrow to see a simple template that can be used to make oodles of Christmas cards.
 

Candy Cane Lane designer paper-Technique Tuesday

   I made this card at the Shoebox Swap in Madison.  The card was designed by fellow Butterfly Friend, Susan.  In case you have never heard of this technique it is called the double z fold.  You can see how it uses a lot of the Candy Cane Lane designer paper.

   Come back tomorrow to see a very creative way to use this paper.

Candy Cane Lane designer paper-Miscellaneous Monday

As you know, I love using designer paper on my cards.  Well, this paper called Candy Cane Lane is full of cute little images.  When I ordered the paper I decided not to order the matching stamp set and just use the paper for my cards.

This was a swap I got at OnStage where the creator cut out the cute little  house and made that the high point of the card.

Come back tomorrow to see a sample of a double z card using this same designer paper.
